The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, indicate which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific host company for your domain name is the most effective way to forward it to their system and all its sub-records will be handled on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), and so forth, so, in case you need to change any of these records, you will be able to do it through their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain address show the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to get the DNS records of the domain name you want to reach. That way the web site you'll see is going to be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain has at least 2 NS records. There isn't any practical difference between the two prefixes, so which one a host company is going to use depends only on their preference.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

When you use a shared hosting from our us and you add a new domain in the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you're going to be able to control its NS records effortlessly through the Hepsia hosting CP, provided with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for several domains at a time with several clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it easy to handle your domain even if it's the first you've ever registered. It requires merely a click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to point a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only a few mouse clicks more you will even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each and every provider that you want the new NS records to point to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for any domain which is registered through us may be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks via the sophisticated, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as easy to see the current NS records for a given domain name and to verify if they are the ones that are necessary for the domain address to be forwarded to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to permit you to control any domain with ease even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you can even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain under which they are set up, but also for any other domain name that you'd like to host in the very same account. This feature is very beneficial if you have clients of your own and you wish their sites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is absolutely free.
